Let’s take a little look at Liverpool’s squad as we approach another Window. The squad’s not perfect, but looking at what Klopp and assembled from the mess he was given and Liverpool look overall the most balanced they have in years. Wide Attacking Players: Salah, Mane, Chamberlain Are the main players backed up by:
Coutinho, Lallana and Firmino can also play there. The first three offer us pace and directness where as the back ups offer more refined skill. Thoughts: We could do with one more pacey addition.
ST: Firmino is the main man and offers a high work rate as well as goals... Back up players: Sturridge, Solanke, Ings,
Thoughts: Sturridge will leave and Ings needs game time. Another serious ST required ATM’s Coutinho, Lallana. Both offer skill, drive, on the pitch leadership. Back up players: Chamberlain, Gini, Thoughts At the moment we have enough
Box to box midfield: Gini, Can, Milner offer good engines side ways passing. Back up: Henderson, Grujic Thoughts Keita cannot arrive quick enough, we need someone who can drive us forward.
DM Henderson, can - Neither are natural deep lying midfielders, offer energy and sideways passing. Thoughts: An area which requires reinforcements quickly Defenders: Matip, Lovren, Klavan - probably the weakest area of the team, injuries have prevented a stable partnership from forming, Back up Gomez Thoughts: It is critical that we bring in two new CB’s
Fullbacks: Clyne, Moreno, Trent, Robertson, Gomez offer youth, energy, ability going forward. With time to improve Thoughts: A Solid additional more defensively minded left back wouldn’t go amis GoalKeeper: Mignolet, Karius, Ward offer decent saves with average ability. Thoughts: This has to be the priority area to improve, a good keeper can get you 10-15 points a season...
